Because of the considerable length of time given for this assignment, no late assignments will be accepted. This will allow timely feedback to be given before the exam.
Graphs should be HAND DRAWN on GRAPH paper (available in the module 4 folder). Graphs drawn on white paper or by Excel (or other computer generated graph) will receive zero marks. Also please staple your assignment to avoid pages being lost.
The following table lists data obtained from three kinetic experiments on an enzyme in the absence, and presence of two different inhibitors, A and B. The amount of enzyme present in each experiment was 5 μg in 10mL of reaction.

(a) Use a suitable method to graph these data and determine Vmax and Km in the absence of any inhibitor, and the apparent Vmax and apparent Km in the presence of inhibitor A and inhibitor B
(b) What types of inhibitors are A and B? Explain your answer
(c) Can addition of extra substrate overcome the inhibition by either A or B? Why or why not?
(d) Given that the molecular weight of the enzyme is 35000 daltons (g/mol), determine the turnover number of the enzyme in the absence of inhibitors
(e) Has this enzyme attained "catalytic perfection"? Explain your answer
(f) The active site of this enzyme has an Aspartate residue that acts as a nucleophile and a Histidine residue that acts as a general acid catalyst. Draw the expected pH rate profile for the enzyme. Explain your answer.

What is the largest number of yam chunks obtainable
: What is the largest number of yam chunks obtainable using exactly three cuts? It is much more difficult to draw cut yams than to draw sliced pizza, but attempt it anyway.

What are the next terms in this sequence
: What are the next terms in this sequence? Develop both a recurrence and a closed form for this sequence, perhaps labeling it as sn. Prove that your recurrence and closed form are correct. Have you used induction yet?

Market supply curve based on the individual supply curves
: Derive the market supply curve based on the individual supply curves of firm 1 and 2. On the same graph, plot all 3 supply curves. Be sure to correctly label the x and y axes as well as the curves.

Do you see a possible recurrence relation
: Does viewing this information together cause any new patterns to appear? What might go in that bottom row of the table? Have you any new conjectures? Do you see any connection to binomial coefficients?
